ALARMS OPERATIONS

SENSOR ALARM

When in the (SENSOR SET) menu, the “SENSOR ALARM” item is set to “ON” or “AND”, a moving subject detected by the video sensor in the selected area of the image can trigger an alarm.

Example: If movement is detected at camera 4 (in multi-display screen)

1 The buzzer is heard and the SELECT 4 indicator flashes.

That particular alarm output changes from OPEN to LOW (0V).

2 The image from camera 4 and the camera number (04) will be displayed on monitor 1, and SA (Sensor Alarm) will flash at the left of the camera number.

The action (such as the alarm duration, alarm recording mode, etc.) taken here will depend on the settings entered in the (SENSOR SET) and the (ACTIVE REC SET) menus (see pages 32, 33).

RECORDED PICTURES MODE ALARM

There are two types of recorded pictures alarms; the alarms recorded on tape and the alarms set by an external alarm trigger.

Alarms recorded on tape

When a tape with recorded alarm triggers is played back, this unit will trigger an alarm, and the alarm display will appear on the concerned camera picture, but the alarm operation will not be activated as for live pictures mode alarms.

External Alarms

If during VCR playback, an alarm trigger is received at the ALARM IN terminals on back panel, the concerned camera SELECT indicator flashes, the buzzer is heard and the alarm signal is output at the corresponding ALARM OUT terminal. However, the display on monitor 1 will not switch as for the live pictures mode external alarms operations.

If in the (ALARM SET) menu, the item “MON.2 OUT” is set to “ON”, the alarm screen live pictures will be displayed on monitor 2. To monitor the alarm on monitor 1, switch to live pictures mode.
